Sutter Health Values Diversity and Inclusion

Sutter Health is committed to the diversity and inclusion of our workforce and
valuing the unique backgrounds and values of the three million patients we care for
each year. We have diverse teams caring for the most diverse patient population in
the nation.

Diversity and Inclusion

By nurturing an environment of diversity and inclusion at Sutter Health:

Our employees have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We attract and retain top talent.

We provide our patients with a personalized exceptional experience by better understanding
who they are.

How We See It

Diversity

A collective mixture of differences and similarities, including individual and
organization characteristics, values, beliefs, experience, backgrounds, preferences
and behaviors.

Inclusion

An organizational behavior where all employees are treated fairly and respectfully,
have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to organizational
success.

Who We Are

Sutter's commitment to a workplace diversity and inclusion helps provide for a
more stimulating professional environment which ultimately better serves diverse patients
and their families.

Inclusion Starts With I

Video produced by Accenture: a discussion around the importance of a positive,
inclusive work environment. This video demonstrates that bias can appear in both expected
and unexpected ways, and that each of us has the power to make a difference.

Community Outreach

In addition to holding public health screenings, the Ethnic Health Institute—supported
by Sutter Health-affiliated Alta Bates Medical Center—mentors volunteers like
Sangeeta Kalsi, a medical student who plans to “pay it forward” by becoming
a physician.

Youth Bridge and the Healthcare Workforce Development programs show teens from
challenging environments how they can believe in themselves, go to college and achieve
more than they ever thought possible.

Sutter Health and affiliated Palo Alto Medical Foundation support the unique cultural
aspects of community healthcare. Dr. Ronesh Sinha talks about partnering to prevent
disease and care for patients in the South Asian Bay Area community.
